Spike, I still think you haven't grasped fully. The saves do not in any way "see" or sense each other. Each is self contained. The saves are not incremental pieces that each contain a vital bit that put altogether will then constitute you current state in the game.

Yes, each save is incremental in that it contains your progress up to that point. The next save will have everything your previous save had + your new progress.

What Scout & I are saying is what's the use of those old saves? If you tried to load them, they would "call forth" and be dependent upon content you removed and is currently not in your game. So? You can archieve them and put them on external drives (for old times sake) but you can't ever load them. Your state of the game when they were saved does not exist anymore. Therefore, what is their purpose for continued existence? [Image Can Not Be Found]

Please, don't think I'm ragging on you. I recall with painful memories my second PC game: Myst. Lemme tell you, I reloaded some saves, continued playing, reloaded others, continued playing….ultimately the Red and Blue pages became all out of whack! Some saves had these found/these missing…other saves had what's missing as found, what's found as missing. Suffice to say it was a G-damned Mess! Took me days to straighten out. Since then, I am very conscious of what & how & where the state of my saves. [Image Can Not Be Found]
